What activation thing?
So then how did you get to 5.7.906?
I have Handcent it doesn't seem to be able to fix the underlying flaw.
Also I am 100% sure that MMS works on my stock, and on my past monsterROM and MavRom. This is very frustrating, is no one else having this issue?

The backlight keyboard is an issue for me too. But if you make it ' auto ' it 'should' work.
Video Calling doesn't work for now. you can see the other person they can't see you.
FC most of the time. Tried skype,oovoo, and a few other ones.
Video's are a bit iffy. very much a stagger and stutter if using youtube/mobile browser.
Rockplayer; avi-mkv work no problem however, if I run them from the SD card.

You will have the video issues till video codes are added Hashcode no his team are working very hard on it

Not to sound like an ass, but hash seems to have quite a load on his shoulders...video codecs have been in the works for quite some time now. I love and respect everything hash and others involved have produced for the ics-droid 3 world but I'm beginning to worry that by the time the rom is fully functional, there will be a new "cleverly named desert" update on its way to newer phones. I guess my patience is running thin and I'm just letting off some steam. I especially get disappointed when I see more and more developers come out with "a new ics rom" for droid 3 when all it is compromised of is all of hash's and others' work with colored icons and other bullcrap that doesn't fix the known issues. Again, I know I sound like an ass and I expect some hate from this post, but there has to be others out there that feel as I do. Regardless, I will still be waiting for the fully functional rom and will be like a little kid on his birthday when it's finally here. Keep up the much appreciated work developers, and stop coming out with roms that just chance the colors of work that others have compiled!...there....I feel much better saying that now.

I am contemplating using this but first I was wondering if anyone would be able to answer a couple of questions.

I have read some threads and sites and I know there are a few "known issues", which include video playback issues, camera issues and bluetooth issues.

Personally, bluetooth and camera issues I can easily live with until they're fixed in due course, so the primary concern I have is the video playback issues that are claimed.

What extent are these "issues?" Does it prevent all video playback? Certain types of video playback? Basically, I don't understand what exactly is affected by the "HW Video Codecs (in progress)" that is listed on Motorola Droid 3 – CyanogenMod – Status « Hash-of-Codes, could someone either point me to a previous posting or provide personal anecdotes?

Same here. No issues with AVI and MP4. I should also note that I'm using MXPlayer, which allows you to toggle back and forth between HW and SW playback. I've noticed that HW can be laggy, but absolutely no problems with SW decoding. Of course, we're talking bitrates around 1000Kbps, not huge MKVs or Bluray rips.

HW Video Codes (in progress) means the on board video camera doesn't work yet and the developer's are working on it. As far as what video does and doesn't work ; youtube works but sometimes a little wonky and videos you have on sdcard work and videos like Netflix some people have said don't work.

The two left columns (Lower and Upper) are the range of brightness that your phone is in. Meaning it will be very high if the sun is shining directly on it, and very low if you are using it with the lights off in bed. The "Screen" category is the brightness of the screen during the range of environmental brightness. Play around with the "Screen" column. If you want everything brighter, I'l increase all the numbers in that column by 50 or so.
